This card has been sitting on my desk for a week now so I'd better get it posted before time runs out at
The Card Concept.
I was inspired by the white pumpkins so I put them on a Mustard Seed and Scattered Straw smooshed background. To add a little hay, I cut the Chilsom Wreath from SSS out of Desert Storm and cut it into pieces. The sentiment from PTI is black embossed on some Smoke paper that has been inked to resemble the galvanized pails the SSS Stitched Pumpkins sit in. Or it could be a ladder rung. You choose. *wink*
I'm also going to send this as my second entry at
AAA Cards where the theme is Thanks/Thanksgiving.
I also made a Thank You card for Jennifer McGuire's
Share Handmade Kindness Campaign. This week's challenge is to share handmade kindness with someone in the community. I decided to make a card for the staff at the living center where my parents reside, thanking them for all the care they have given to Mom and Dad over the past year.
The bottom part of the panel is stamped with Michele's rose background from MFT on Desert Storm. I used a MFT die to partially cut the word and popped the panel up over a Chainlink embossed panel. I cut another word out of coordinating striped paper to put on top and embossed a scrap of green with words from W & W. The aides that work at the facility are now required to wear scrubs that are just about that green color. I hope they get the reference.
This is such a worthwhile effort and guaranteed to bring smiles to the recipients. Why not head
over for more information and join in. You'll be glad you did.

Those white pumpkins nestled in the hay are fantastic, Bobby ... love how they pop against that wonderful mellow yellow smooshed background! Beautiful thanks card ... that rose background is so gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)
Eeek, Bobby, I LOVE your white pumpkins with the bits of nature coming out, and the varied mustard background. Stunning! Just stunning. We all should design with white pumpkins more often. Great card for Jennifer McGuire's card drive too. The rose pattern with the diagonals and squares all balance nicely. Finally, congrats on your new blog header. It looks good on you : ) Clever that the font is actually bits and pieces itself! I get it!
Wow, love both of your cards!! The mustard background with the white pumpkins is so striking and perfect for our inspiration photo challenge- thanks for playing along with us at The Card Concept!!
Your white pumpkins paired with the straw background: so pretty! Your share kindness card for the staff is wonderful; such a pretty gesture to show your appreciation for your parents' care!
